摘要
Circular DNA of more than 1,400 bp in size is known not to migrate into polyacrylamide gels. The migration of supercoiled plasmid pBR322 DNA (4,363 bp) into uncrosslinked polyacrylamide (M(w) 5 X 10(6)) solutions and its separation, on the basis of conformation, from its nicked form is demonstrated in this study. Migration of the supercoiled, nicked circular and linear forms of the plasmid DNA is retarded in proportion to the concentration of uncrosslinked polyacrylamide, the degree of retardation being highest for the nicked circular form. Decreasing the level of supercoiling of the covalently closed circular form by decreasing the concentration of the intercalating dye (ethidium homodimer) shows that the degree of retardation decreases in proportion to the superhelix density.
